Chapter 527: Chapter 221: The Top-grade Classical Prose (Part 13)
During this period, Jin Jujue’s "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was still being serialized in Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper, and people in the mainland had no idea about such a martial hero masterpiece.
Naturally, they were also clueless about the Left and Right Fighting, the gimmick of drawing a circle with the left hand while drawing a square with the right.
But even if they had known, the soldiers still thought that such fictitious plots were incomparable with Engineer He’s miraculous performance.
Because He Tiantian not only managed to use her left and right brains independently, she seemed to have become two entirely different people.
One hand represented one cerebral hemisphere, functioning completely on its own, totally unrelated.
The soldiers, observing the contents on the draft paper that were almost unassociated, only felt a tingling on their scalps.
My God, my God, my God, are there really such Miracle Men in this world?
The two soldiers exchanged a glance, silently asking for the Nth time: What exactly is inside Engineer He’s brain? How did it develop like that?
Drip-drip!
Drip-drip!!
It was that familiar sound of blood dripping again.
The soldiers’ hearts trembled, not daring to delay, they busily got to work.
One soldier brought over a straw, placed it right by He Tiantian’s mouth, and let her drink some brown sugar water first.
The other took out a packet of chocolate from his bag, breaking it into small pieces and feeding it to He Tiantian one bite at a time.
He Tiantian took big gulps of the warm brown sugar water and also ate a few pieces of chocolate in between.
With the calories quickly replenished, He Tiantian’s nosebleed stopped.
And as her hand that was writing rapidly also gradually came to a halt, she curved her lips into a satisfied smile, "It really works!"
Soldier: ...What works, for heaven’s sake!
Does she mean she can function as two people on her own?
Or did she just hasten the rate of her nosebleed?!
"Chief, should I go find the train conductor and see if there is a doctor on board this train to give you a proper check-up?" asked the soldier responsible for feeding the chocolate, somewhat concerned as He Tiantian seemed to have no intention of stopping.
"I’m fine, I can hold on. It’s just that my body can’t quite adapt since the experiment just started. I’ll get used to it soon!" He Tiantian wiped the blood from her nose with a handkerchief and pulled out a pack of deep-fried meatballs from her bag.
The mix of sugar and oil was a definite calorie bomb, but it was also the most comforting.
He Tiantian ate mouthful after mouthful, finishing off one pack, then took out a box containing meat buns.
These were freshly made by her real mother, Wu Zhuoya, who got up at dawn before her departure to prepare them, with a beef and green onion filling.
The beef was fresh, the green onions flavorful, and combined with perfectly risen dough skin, each bite was simply a delight.
To prevent the buns from cooling, Wu Zhuoya had specially wrapped them in towels after placing them in a food box.
Now as He Tiantian began to eat, they were still warm, and the soup inside was not too hot.
He Tiantian continued to eat while staring vacantly at a spot in the train compartment.
Soldier A: "There she goes, Engineer He is thinking again!"
Soldier B: "This ’trial’ seems very important to her. I’m just afraid her body won’t be able to take it!"
Soldier A: "Should we report this to the higher-ups and arrange for a female comrade to be Engineer He’s doctor?"
Soldier B: "I think so. How about we mention it to the comrades in Capital City when we arrive?"
The two soldiers silently communicated with each other while keeping a close eye on He Tiantian’s condition.
He Tiantian’s spell of absent-mindedness didn’t last long; she devoured four large meat buns in one go and burped satisfyingly before she stopped eating.
Soldier A hurriedly brought her water to wash her hands and tidied up the table again.
With fresh blank papers spread out, He Tiantian continued with her calculations with one hand while copying data with the other.
The two soldiers watched on during the entire journey and actually "got used to it."
It took a full three days and three nights before the train finally arrived in Capital City.
Upon arrival, a car from the institute came to pick them up.
But seeing that the so-called "Expert He" was a slender girl of only about seventeen or eighteen years old, both the driver and the reception staff were somewhat astonished.
However, as they were experienced and worldly, they didn’t let their surprise show on their faces.
They greeted He Tiantian warmly and made proper arrangements for her.
He Tiantian didn’t care about accommodations or other such matters, she immediately inquired, "What is my job?"
The reception staff, used to dealing with all sorts of geniuses year-round, naturally knew the temperaments of these high-intellect individuals.
There would be no beating around the bush; straight to the point, direct and endearingly straightforward.
"Expert He, please don’t be in a hurry. Once you go to the research institute tomorrow, someone will arrange it for you," the reception staff said with a smile.
